โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

We present results from a Chandra survey of 11 nearby, faceโ€on spiral galaxies. 24 observations totalling 900 ks of new and archival Chandra data reveal more than 1000 Xโ€ray point sources associated with the galaxies, diffuse emission, and hundreds of serendipitous sources.

We discuss source populations and luminosity functions and show that the slope of the Xโ€ray luminosity function is correlated with the star formation rate in the galaxies. We also discuss ultraluminous Xโ€ray sources in comparison with sources within the Milky Way. Finally, we discuss ongoing work on source classification based upon Xโ€ray colors and spectra, position within the host galaxies, and multiwavelenth counterparts.

## Abstract We present the first results of our Xโ€shooter observations for a sample of dwarf (โ€“17 < __M__~__B__~ < โ€“15) galaxies in nearby (0.04 < __z__ < 0.07) galaxy clusters. This luminosity range is fundamental to trace the evolution of higherโ€__z__ starโ€forming cluster galaxies down to the pre
